Abstract
Pseudo-wollastonite α-CaSiO3 doped with Eu2+ was obtained through one-step calcination of precursors prepared by
chemical co-precipitation method. This phosphor emits a strong blue band peaking at 449 nm with full width at half
maximum of about 35 nm under the excitation at 365 nm. The blue luminescence originates from the allowed f-d transition
of Eu2+ ions on Ca2+ sites. The energy transfer of Eu2+ in pseudo-wollastonite α-CaSiO3:Eu2+ phosphor has been
demonstrated to be a resonant type via a dipole-dipole mechanism. α-CaSiO3:Eu2+ phosphor shows higher thermally stable
luminescence which was found to be better than commercially available Y3Al5O12:Ce3+ phosphor.
